About
We take your horseback riding party on a fun-filled day of fishing on Willow Creek. The **only way in is to walk or take a horse**, this is way back in Willow Creek – you have the whole creek to yourself! We will have a guide with you, showing you the good spots to fish. This trailride takes place **100% in the Bridger Teton National Forest** and makes a full loop, allowing you to experience new scenery and views throughout the entire ride. Lunch is in included and **we provide your fishing gear**. You need only bring your fishing license. People come back from this ride with smiles from ear to ear.
**NOTE:** A current Wyoming fishing license is required to be in your possession at all times. You can purchase one online before your trip. We will include a link to do so in your confirmation email.
You’ll experience beautiful mountain trails on horseback, winding through *Douglas Firs, Lodge Pole Pine trees, Blue Sagebrush and Alpine Wildflowers*. Riding along (and sometimes through) the crystal clear water flowing down Willow Creek toward the famous **Snake River** is sure to become a highlight from your visit to Jackson Hole.
Wildlife encounters are frequent and you ride through the natural habitat of the *Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer, Shiras Moose, Red Tailed Hawks and even our American Bald Eagle!*
**Lunch includes:**
* A big deli sandwich
* Bag of chips
* An apple (for you or your horse)
* Cookies
* Plenty of water
